I or Creamed Comments on the Sunday School Lesson. Christ Among the Churches, Revelation 1:9-18: 3:14-22, for Sunday, September 16. Revelation was written at the height of the persecution of Chris, tians and to get a message needed by them, symbols were used, not easily understood by non-Chris-tiang. These persecuted Christian, needed the assurance that Christ was alive and present with power that would bring victory. The book was written by one who was persecuted, and exile on Patmos, a place set apart for the condemned. One of those on the prison island was John — likely the one who wrote the epistle of John. He wrote with authority and power; how bis words reached the persecuted is not known, but It saved Christianity rekinding faith, hope courage. V. 9. “I, John, who also am your brother and companion in tribulation and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God and tor the testimony of Jesus Christ.’’ The author was a fellow-sufferer and he maintained hip Christian faith and was about to bear his Christian testimony in the patience of Jesus Christ, in this patience was the expectation -that his followers would be faithful. V. TO. "1 was In the spirit on the Lord's day and heard behind me a great voice as of a trumpet.’’ The author had a mountain top experience when great religious impressions were made that could only come from a great voice. God speaks when man is at his best. 1 It fs then that God reveals himself.) V. 11. “Saying. I am Alpha and. Omega, the first and the last, and > what thou seest. write in a book I and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia ” The everlasting Father speaks through his Son and the Wwrd. W« cWne tFtWHT God* through Christ and God's word. To know God is everlasting life. V. 17. “And when I saw him, 1 fell at his feet as dead. And he I laid his right hand upon me. saying unto me. Fear not for I am the first and the last." In the preceding verse. God is described in striking symbols that overwhelmed the au- 1 thor. The thought of the presence of almighty God caused him to overcome fear, enduring all V. 18. "I am he that liveth and was dead; and, tiehold. I am alive forever more. Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.” Here is presented Christ, who. by the atonement, died and rose again, by which provision is made for his followers to be overcomers of sin and death and rise to a newness of life which has no death. Christ has authority over all things, including death and hell, for he has the keys. Here is divine assurance. Va. 14. 15. “And unto the angel of the church at Laodicea write' ... I know thy works, that thou i art neither hot nor cold. I would that thou wert hot or cold.’’ Gods knows all things. This church was; operating on fifty per cent devo-] tlon. Only one hundred per cent; devotion is acceptable. V. 16- “So because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold or hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.” The worship of this church was tasteless and insipid and must be expelled out of God's heart. Make- 1 believe worship is not tolerated by I God.' V. 18. “I counsel of thee to buy

of me gold tried in the fire that thou mayeat be rich; and white raiment that you mayest be clothed and that the shame of thy nakedness may not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve that thou mayeat see." This town rolled in wealth and therefore the people were spiritually naked and poor; they needed spiritual treatments. V. 19. “As many as I love I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore and repent.” God’s love includes rebuking professed followers who are not sincere: the only way out of God's judgment is by the way of repentance. Repentance applies to respectable sinners. V. 20. “Behold I stand at the door and knock; if any man hear my voice and open the door. 1 will come in to him and sup with him and he with me.” Note these words were spoken to the church, it is illustrated in Christ’s great commission. "Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel and 10, T am with thee.” As we feel the need of missionary work (and hear the cry of starving children and adults 1 Christ is realized standing at the door and knocking. Only as we do something about it, can we realize the presence and power of Christ. — The Rev. I). Car) Yoder. —Based on copyrighted outlines produced by the Division df Christian Education.

Uniform-wearing Salvationists, conspicious as policemen in a crowd, particularly find attention focused upon themselves. Their actions and wore are'’thus limelighted and amplfted, so that even the smallest things are sometimes given a significance out of all proportion to their importance. Salvationists should therefore watch that in their reactions to the, things of smallest moment the spirit of Christ is shown. Nevertheless. one must not become smallminded. ( The essayist Hazlitt confessed that it was the petty annoyances that upset him most. “To grea evils we submit: we resent little provocations.” he wrote, thereby expressing the great truth that ■ we can waste our energies over , pin-pricking, petty evils, instead i of rising above them to fight and I conquer the greater evils.
